The villa includes daily maid service, satellite TV, Internet access, kayaks and an optional chef service.

On the main floor are 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. All bedrooms have sliding doors leading out to beachfront covered patios. Upstairs is a huge master suite with a spectacular 180 degree view of the bay. The suite leads out onto a deck with a covered outdoor seating area and hammock. Finally on the roof is an observation deck with a 360 degree view of ocean, beach, mangroves and the sunset.

All linens, towels, beach towels are provided. Daily housekeeping is included in the rental. Optional chef service is available. The cook prepares delicious Mexican and American food.

Three double kayaks are provided for your exclusive use with paddles and life jackets, including youth sizes. You can kayak out to protected reefs in the bay for great snorkeling, or snorkel from the beach. For the kids we also have sand toys, buckets and shovels.

The villa has it's own private pool with a waterfall cascading down into the water, and surrounded by a sun-deck with loungers. A perfect place to catch some sun, work on a tan or enjoy the sunset. Our resident iguana Spiky is usually sunning himself above the waterfall cascading into the pool.

About Arul

We are a family of four living in the Pacific Northwest. Our kids are in high school now but have grown up at the Villa Tres Delfines, and love to take their friends down on vacation too.

Arul purchased this Villa in 2007

Why Arul chose Tulum

My wife and I discovered the Yucatan back in 1992 when there was nothing south of Cancun but beach and jungle for hundreds of miles. After visiting and dreaming about the area for years, we finally found the perfect spot in the Villa Tres Delfines.

What makes this Villa unique

Being part of a private beach community, the villa is one of a thin ribbon of homes along the perfect crescent-shaped beach, with the blue Caribbean on one side and mangroves behind. There are no big hotels or crowds, and the beach is very private.

This was our second stay at Villa Tres Delfines. The first stay was 2 years prior. We love it because it is just so comfortable, with a great layout for the 8 of us (4 couples). the breeze off the bay is lovely all day long. And there is nothing like enjoying and photographing the sunrises from the rooftop deck. You won't want to miss a single one. The kitchen is well equipped, the rooms are very nice, though you won't be spending that much time there with your eyes open. The garden out back is pretty cool with flowering shrubs, palms, orchids, iguanas, butterflies and birds. Did I mention the garden is right next to the pool and waterfall? I particularly would return from snorkeling and head right to the pool for a refreshing rinse. One of the best amenities is the couple that caretake the villa, William and Maria. They don't speak English and I very little Spanish, but we had such fun trying to understand each other. Overall, this villa on Soliman Bay is a treasure.

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay here. The house is beautiful and so relaxing!! We like how private the beach front is, during the week were there we only saw one couple walk along the beach. Pool I was perfect for the kids and cooling off. The caretakers were so helpful, friendly and did an excellent job maintaining the property. We look forward to returning some day, there is so much to do and see in tulum and surrounding towns and a week is just not enough time. I have been to a few beaches in Mexico and even with all the seaweed this is my favorite place!

Great house, private beach but seaweed is a downside

We really enjoyed our stay at Tres Delfines. The house was the perfect size for our family of six. The airconditioned rooms were great and the breezes off the ocean cooled the shared living area perfectly. There are many hammocks, lounge chairs, and spaces to hang out. The pool is smaller than expected but that did not stop our family from using it every day, the kids especially enjoyed it.

The only downside to staying at Tres Delfines was the seaweed issue that is currently plaguing the area. William, the groundskeeper, has a crew that works every day to clear the seaweed, but it is an endless battle. We could not walk directly out and enter the water to swim in front of the property, this was a disappointment for us. We expected to swim and play in the ocean a lot more than we did, but the seaweed was so thick, a bit smelly and undesirable to walk through.

It is important to note that the caretakers who stay on the property are fantastic! Mari cooked us a delicious meal upon arrival by our request. She is respectful of your timing for her daily cleaning and kept the house spotless. In addition to seaweed clearing, William rakes the white sand every day, just like the fancy hotels. If you need anything they are ready to help, as long as you speak Spanish, which we did. They are the gems of the property!

Finally, the owner Arul is extremely helpful and responds to questions and problems very quickly. We really loved staying at his home and we know the seaweed problem is out of his control.

Wonderful place to stay. Very relaxing, hated to leave. Quiet area, private beach front, the caretakers and owner work extremely hard to ensure your stay is superb. So much better than a resort!

The following is a comprehensive review of the house with both positive and negative so that you can have a complete picture of this listing.

I will just start by saying ... we had the time of our lives in this area and visited ruins, explored many cenotes, and enjoyed the area.

The house itself is nice. It is on a private beach. We were disappointed to receive an email several days before that a storm had washed seaweed onto the beach front. We assumed that it was something that had just happened, but upon discussion with local residents it has been an issue since 2015. The seaweed has an odor, and unfortunately made walking straight into the bay an impossibility without steping over and thru

The bedrooms were nice and each had their own individual air conditioning unit. A storm did knock our unit out on the last day of our stay causing us to move the bed to avoid drips to our head. Bathrooms were clean, but upon returning we all had athlete's foot so I'd recommend flip flops.

My favorite features of the house far outweighed any of the negatives listed above ... sunrise on the rooftop, inviting relaxing hammocks, lots of chairs to view the water, seashells along the shore, walking to the taco stand for an afternoon beverage under wispy palm trees, and gorgeous landscaped (daily) white sandy beach. The charter fish company gave us a great day trip (3 hours) and they were fun to be around. They cooked the mahi-mahi we caught at the taco stand and even joined us for ceviche and fish sticks.

The pool was a little smaller than I thought it would be from the photos, but we still had an amazing time with the kids. We did donate some pool noodles for kids to play with. Bring some bug spray, but bugs were not a huge problem for us at the house, just the cenotes.

Kitchen was nice and had basic utensils but nothing extra. It did have a blender that we put to good use.

We utilized the grocery store in Tulum (about 10 minutes down the road). They have a nice selection of items including beverages. Checkout was a little long, so plan for a little extra time.

The dirt road to the house has lots of pot holes- plan for this.

I want to compliment William (the grounds keeper) and Olivia (the housekeeper) for going out of there way. When they found out we liked coconuts not only did they help us get some from the tree, but they cut and left three in the refrigerator pre-cut for us to enjoy each day of our stay. I can't say enough about how great they were

Amazing views, as right on the calm water of Soliman Bay. Back door 50 feet from water. House spacious, clean and functional. Near Tulum, but far enough away. Felt safe entire stay. Internet in region unreliable, as it only worked about 20% of time, which I preferred, because I wanted an unplugged family vacation. Unexpected seagrass bloom and surprise storm was frustrating, but owner was responsive in hiring folks to clean the beach daily, unlike some other homes in the area. Owner very responsive to all inquiries. Kayaks were great. Would stay again.
